Sink repair at your home in Fallin
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. Common call-outs are for cracks around the tap holes or waste and an original basin worth saving, on Belfast and butler sinks, enamelled basins and antique & period basins.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

Related advice
Should you replace it?
Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Our sink repair starts from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
Honest limits
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Leaks from the fittings
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- Through cracks that let water out
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Fallin questions
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Typically, if it isn’t leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach
Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the whole basin
- The material, if you know it
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Do you need sink repair in Fallin?
Basins take knocks every day: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners chip the rim and front edge. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- A crack near the taps
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- An antique basin with chips
